When You Find Out What is in McDonalds French Fries, You Will Be Disgusted

The fact that there are more than 10 ingredients in McDonald’s fries should be reason enough to stay away from them. I mean, really, how many ingredients do you really need to make fries?

Grant Imahara from the super-awesome science show Mythbusters made the startling discovery when he visited a McDonald’s fry factory and reverse-engineered the fries to figure out exactly what they’re made of.

“I know what you’re thinking,” he said as he stood in front of a conveyor belt that was spitting out the fries. “These look like potatoes, but are they really potatoes?”The short answer is: no.

The following is an abbreviated list of the ingredients contained in McDonald’s french fries:

Potatoes

Canola oil

Soybean oil

Hydrogenated soybean oil

Natural beef flavor

Hydrolyzed wheat

Hydrolyzed milk

Tertiary butylhydroquione (TBHQ)

Dimethylpolysiloxane

Dextrose

The three offenders on the list are TBHQ, dimethylpolysiloxane and hydrogenated soybean oil.

Healthline reports the chemical was found in lab studies done on animals to cause liver enlargement, neurotoxic effects, convulsions and paralysis.

TBHQ was also placed on the black list of the Feingold diet, a diet dedicated to managing attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. In other words, health experts recommend that those with ADHD stay away from TBHQ.
